To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, CORNELIUS GERTZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fairview, in the county of Major, Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Im-.

' welded down flush with theturning surface provements in Plow-Points and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and

exact description of the. invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it .appertainstopmke and-use the same,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. I

This invention relates t new and useful improvements in'points for plows and the object in view is to produce a simpleand' efficient device of this nature which maybe readily applied to a plow share which has become worn to such an extenlf'as to render it practically useless.

Theinvention comprises various details of construction, coi nbmations and arrangements of pprts which will be hereinafter fully desert ed and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspeptive view showing my improved plow point as attached to a plow share. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the land side of the'plow with the point attached. Fi '3 is a pers ective view of the point be ore being wel ed to the plow shares-fir Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, 'A designates a plow share with the point portion thereof .worn away forming a depression, designated by letter B, fromconstant wear and which, has

' shaped atone endand having diagona a tendency to render the plow practically useless. I I C designates a plow point, made of a blank of metal, as shown clearly in Fig. 3 of thedrawings. Said blank, .whieh is .wedge y disposed edges, has one endcontracted or narrow and of substantially the same width one-half its length. One of the edges of said blank has an upset bulging ortion D along the straight edge of the blan and said bulging portion is designed to engage the worn away part E upon the plow share.

I In ap lying the device to t phelow share, the blan of metal is heated and bent upon Specification of Letters Patent.

the bulging portion D s up the worn away s ace at the tip of the'plow share, asshown 0 early in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The flar ing or wedge shaped {end of theblank is itself at F forming the oint of the plowsantl of the glow share, while the narrow portion with the land side of the. plow share. Said blank forming the point of 'the plow hasa counter-sunken rivet or bolt passing throughthe same and the plow share which to ether-. with the welding, will securely hold t e de-"'; vice in place.

From the foregoing, it will be noted that,

bythe provision of a plow pointma'de'as'i shown and described, a wornplow may 2 made practically as good as new. I v
